Within the last few years, the Rookie of the Year award has grown to have more meaning than it had in the past. Changes in the most recent collective bargaining agreement allow the award to bestow a full year of MLB service time on the top two finishers, even if they would have otherwise entered the offseason with less than that.

Nick Kurtz has become a symbol of hope for the Athletics as his outstanding play has fans looking forward to the franchise's future success.

The Red Sox are finalizing an eight-year contract extension with outfielder Roman Anthony that guarantees him $130MM, covering the 2026-33 seasons.

Bellinger became the first Dodgers rookie in franchise history to hit for the cycle, achieving this feat just two days after his 22nd birthday.

Drake Baldwin could win the National League Rookie of the Year award. His performance has been impressive, with significant improvements over the months.

Hideo Nomo made history when he became the first MLB pitcher to throw a no-hitter at Coors Field, achieving this remarkable feat in 1996.

When you add the fact that the Egypt international is 32 years old, his performances become even more impressive.

"Easily! Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year voters follow fairly predictable patterns that are heavily influenced by draft capital spent."

Valenzuela's impressive pitching continued as he logged a complete game shutout against the Giants, boosting his rookie season stats and earning accolades.
